Not to be confused with Back to Basics

Back II Da Basics is the fifth album by American singer Ginuwine, released in the United States on November 15, 2005 (see 2005 in music) on Epic Records. The album features production by Jazze Pha, Troy Oliver and Trackmasters in addition to others. "When We Make Love" was the lead single, followed by "I'm In Love". The singles were not successful and this was Ginuwine's first album to not have any singles making the Hot 100. It is also his lowest selling album, with peak position of 12 on the Billboard 200. A year later his record company produced a greatest hits compilation with almost no promotion presumably to end the album deal with Ginuwine.
